Sort the table order in Power BI table visual

[Anonymous]

I have the below table visual in Power BI with filed values like "ORR 1", ORR 2, etc.,

I need to sort it in ascending. When I do it ORR 11 comes after ORR 1 instead of ORR 2. How to tackle this ?

Hi @Anonymous 

It's obvious, try formatting the secong part of your ORR column by adding leading digits in order to get ORR 01 instead of ORR 1

Did it work ? Mark it as a solution to help spreading knowledge.

A kudos would be appreciated

Hi @Anonymous 

You can create a new calculated column and use it in your visual

ORRSorting = LEFT(Table[ORR],3)&" "&FORMAT(CONVERT(RIGHT(Table[ORR],LEN(Table[ORR])-3),INTEGER),"0000")

Did it work ? Mark it as a solution to help spreading knowledge.
